In this episode we were lucky to have Dr. Frances Wright! Dr. Wright (@franceswright15) is a surgical oncologist at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. She dissected out the topic of nodal management of melanoma for us. She also talked about her groundbreaking work in IL-2 injections for in-transit disease, her research on the patient-experience in cancer, as well as how to get involved in large, multicentre trials.
